Halloween writing - The Voice

Halloween writing - The Voice

For the next two weeks for writing we are going to be writing a story for Halloween. First we had to choose a photo from this site(https://www.literacyshed.com/spookyinspiration.html) and write a story with something to do to with that photo. I love doing this and I would do it again! :) 

Here is my story and photo I choose -

THe VoIce

Screeching, swings swaying in the wind, I stand and walk towards the old abandoned house. The one all the kids avoid, I hear a voice but I can’t make out the words. I’m at the front door, I feel an urge… I slowly push the door open creak! I walk down the corridor flinching at every little sound. I feel my spine shivering down my back. I feel someone or something breathing down my neck, saying “come come come tonight will be your last”

I slowing turn only my neck. Suddenly the floorboards in front of me creak as if someone was walking on them, quickly I turn my head back. I look around to only see blood dripping from the wall going in between the old wooden planks. I hear the voice again, “come come come tonight will be your last” I run as fast as I can to the room at the end on the left, it the only room with a door that’s not locked. I look into the room to see only a fire that’s burnt out and an old fashioned rocking chair that looks like it might break if anyone were to sit on it. I hear the floorboards creak and the voice “come come come tonight is the last, Goodbye” I turn towards the sound...

Shoshy Careers

Shoshy Careers

This term each Monday Shoshy is going to come in and talk to my class about careers. On Monday this week she came into my class, we all had to got into a circle. In the middle of the circle she put a bowel of different coloured m&ms. Then sh rolled a basketball on the ground to a person. Then that person went into the middle of the circle and got 2 m&ms from the bowl. After that they had to say what colour it was, depending on what colour is was, depending what the question Shoshy asked you.

Yellow - What is your favourite book?
Green - What is your favourite thing about school?
Red - What is your favourite thing to do outside of school?
Orange - You choose.

Should schools have uniforms - Argument

Should schools have uniforms - Argument

This week for school we are writing arguments. I decided to write an argument about, should schools have uniforms. 

Here is my argument -

Should schools have uniforms - Argument

I strongly believe that every school should have a set uniform, including shoes. For these three reasons, staying focused on work, kids bullying others and representing their schools.

My first reason is if kids wore muffity and not a uniform they would get distracted, not stay on task with their work and not listen to their teacher. Think about it if you were sitting in class and your teacher is talking about what you are doing in class but you are too busy thinking about what you and everyone else is wearing. These questions rushing through your head like, does my outfit look good, she looks extremely better then her and look at the old, disgusting, ugly shoes he is wearing. Then your hear your teacher say “ any question” and you realise you didn’t hear a thing your teacher said. That would be outrageous!

Did you know over 60% of school bullying is about what clothes and shoes people wear? There are so many ways that people can bully others. Cyber, Physical, Social and Verbal. Any one of these types of bullying can you feel small and trapped, you feel like you can’t speak out and stop the bully and that makes you feel like you are floating in space. It's horrible to think that someone right now is being bullied and feels that, powerless, useless and lost. Most bullying starts from a little thing. For example if your not wearing shoes with braids like Nike or Addias. Bullying is so much worse if it is at a school with no uniform. If there is a uniform you don’t feel singled out, you all look that same no one can bullying about what brand you are wearing or not wearing. Overall bullying in decreased by a lot if the school has a uniform.

For my last reason I believe if you wear a school uniform you feel more proud because you are representing your school. Imagine if you go way on a school sports, camp, maths or choir trip. Wear ever you go people will know what school your from l, they’ll think what a nice, polit, and happy school. If they ever come to live in Greymouth they will remember the nice school and they may decide to buy their children into that school. Many good things can come from wearing a uniform.

In conclusion I believe every school should have a uniform, because of bullying, staying focused and representing their school. I hope after you have read my side of this argument you are on my side. 

Believing every school should have a uniform.

SHAKE OUT!!!!!

SHAKE OUT!!!!!

This week on Thursday the whole on New Zealand was doing a shake out. The shake out was a drill to practice what we would do if there was a earthquake, and a tsunami. It would happen on Thursday the 17th of October at 1:30pm. At 1:30 the intacom in my class room said the earthquake had started, we all got under a table closest to us and did the turtle (drop cover and hold).Which is where was face the group and cover our head and neck with our hands. After a minute or so the intacom came over again, we had to get to our save zone as if there was a tsunami. I think is was good to practice so we would know how to react if there was a real earthquake our tsunami.
